Xiaomi has not revealed what changes will be coming to HyperOS 2.0, but according to the leaked information, the new version of HyperOS may allow users to detect hidden cameras using WLAN signals. If this is true, Xiaomi devices may have an edge over competitors when it comes to user privacy and personal security.
Some leaked screenshots suggest that HyperOS 2.0 May redesign the setup home page. It can provide a card-like experience instead of being divided by thin lines. The change is expected to be warmly welcomed by Mi’s fans.
The new “Settings” homepage in leaked images looks modern. Not only does it provide better aesthetics, it also ensures smoother navigation and smoothness.
HyperOS 2.0 May allow up to 16GB of virtual memory, the default is 6GB. Of course, due to the limited hardware, not all Xiaomi devices can have 16GB of virtual RAM. As a result, it’s likely to show up on high-end phones with plenty of storage.
Xiaomi is also said to be working on letting users turn off the lockscreen editor in HyperOS 2.0. For unfamiliar users, long-press the blank space on the lock screen to activate the screen editor. Users who don’t like it may be able to turn it off via the Settings app in HyperOS 2.0.
In addition to these changes, the upcoming HyperOS 2.0 is expected to have smoother animation, better performance, and privacy. You can also expect to see new AI capabilities.
The release of HyperOS 2.0 is still a few weeks away. According to recent leaks, Xiaomi may start rolling out the version to eligible devices in the second week of October. Recent flagship models will be the first to support this version, followed by mid-range and budget devices.
